Auto College Basketball Player Props – Best NCAAB Prop Bets Today, January 2

Total Points: Coen Carr (MSU) Over 12.5 (-135)

Coen Carr is a sharp look in the college basketball prop market tonight at over 12.5 points in Michigan State’s matchup against Nebraska. The Spartans’ junior forward is in top form, coming off a stretch of 19, 22, and 14 points in his last three games, including a strong performance against Cornell where he posted 19.

Carr’s style of play translates well to this prop. He’s aggressive in the paint and consistently draws fouls, leading to high-efficiency scoring opportunities. That physicality keeps his floor high even on off shooting nights.

In December, he cleared 13+ points in four of six games, showing reliable output when he’s on the floor and involved. With his current scoring rhythm and matchup outlook, Carr’s over makes for a confident and well-priced play in the player prop market tonight.

Total Points: Jamarques Lawrence (NEB) Under 8.5 (-115)

Jamarques Lawrence’s under 8.5 points at -115 stands out as a sharp bet in Nebraska’s matchup against a tough Michigan State defense. Lawrence has struggled to consistently produce, finishing with fewer than nine points in six of his last eight games. Since November 21, he’s topped this number only twice, and both came against weaker competition.

His volume simply isn’t there as well. Averaging just 7.2 field goal attempts per game, Lawrence doesn’t have the usage to inspire confidence, especially against a Spartans defense that ranks 27th in the nation, allowing just 65.9 points per game.

With limited shot opportunities and a difficult matchup on deck, this prop feels a point too high. The under 8.5 points is the smart side to take here for your best college basketball prop bets today.
